I think the Gregorian/Christian calendar should be readjusted to

A. have a "Year Zero"

and

B. slide the calendar back a number of years so as to better align with the actual supposed date of Christ's birth.


So, in other words, "7 BC" should become "0 BC", and all the dates preceeding and proceeding that date be reformatted to reflect the change.

Exactly. For me, the single best balance of the extremes is BATMAN: THE ANIMATED series, which kept the tone just right, and, more importantly, got the character himself right--world's greatest detective, not crazy, mysterious, grim-but-not-brooding, a sense of humor, etc.


Agree. The Bronze Age Batman struck many of those same cords as well (God, that just reminds me of how I need to read more of the stories from that era).

I wonder what it would take to build a real life Death Star. An asteroid belt like ours wouldn't posssess enough raw material. You'd probably have to demolish entire planets to get what's needed.

Hmmm ... thinking about it, the Death Star becomes really redundant if you already possess world-devastating technology!

...and so the <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Emperor</span> Pope retired. I wonder, how many Star Wars fans feel affected?

For me he had at least one virtue: every time I saw him I tried not to giggle... stop that, he doesn't look like Palpatine, not a bit! :D That was my first thought when I first saw him... how awkward did I feel! Luckily I immediately discovered - thanks to the Internet - that people all over the world noticed the same (what a relief it was :D ).

Remember fondly Papa Ratzi, the only Palpatine-lookalike pope.


But he doesn't look like Palpatine, not at all.

Sidious on the other hand ...
